SERBS & ALBANIANS MAKE MUTUAL ACCUSATIONS FOR KOSOVO CRIMES

( Editorial: --> 6903 ) PRISTINA, Aug 30 (Hina) - Serbian authorities and representatives of Kosovo Albanians have been making mutual accusations for crimes committed in the south Yugoslav province of Kosovo. Serbian police on Saturday showed reporters the remains of burned human bodies found in Klecka, a village in Malisevo Municipality 30km south of Kosovo capital Pristina. According to Serbian authorities, the Kosovo Liberation Army (OVK) killed and then burned 22 Serbs in that village in July. OVK political representative Bardhyl Mahmuti categorically denied the allegations on the shooting of Serbian civilians made by Serbian authorities. OVK has not killed any civilian to date, Mahmuti emphasised. "The terror of the Serbian military and police is accompanied by a propaganda terror, which is trying to diminish the crimes committed against the civilian Albanian population, the massacres, destruction and barbarism, and to put the blame on the OVK", said Mahmuti. "The latest Serbian regime fabrication is the alleged killing of Serbian civilians in the village of Klecka and the alleged existence of a list of abducted Serbs", he concluded.
